"The right of indigenous peoples under international human rights law to give or withhold their Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) to natural resource extraction in their territories is increasingly recognized by intergovernmental organizations, international bodies, and industry actors, as well as in the domestic law of some States. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the historical basis and status of the requirement for indigenous peoples consent under international law, examining its relationship with debates and practice pertaining to the acquisition of title to territory throughout the colonial era"-- "The right of indigenous peoples to Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in relation to natural resource extraction in their territories is a principle that is increasingly recognised by intergovernmental organizations, international bodies, conventions and international human rights law as well as in the domestic law of some States. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the status of Free Prior and Informed Consent under international human rights law, considering the main controversies, obstacles and challenges associated with its recognition and implementation. The book examines the relationship between Free Prior and Informed Consent and territorial, resource and governance rights. The historical basis for FPIC is considered as well as the legitimacy of the dominant doctrines of exclusive State ownership of subsoil resources. The book argues that FPIC constitutes an emerging norm of international law with a tipping point having been reached in terms of the requirements recognition, both within and beyond the human rights regime. It draws on emerging jurisprudence from around the world, as well as evolving industry standards and policies, to illustrate the growing recognition of the fact that respect for the consent requirement is fundamental to securing indigenous peoples self-governance and territorial rights"--

Via military conquest, Catholic evangelization, and intercultural engagement and struggle, a vast array of knowledge circulated through the Spanish viceroyalties in Mexico and the Andes. This collection highlights the critical role that indigenous intellectuals played in this cultural ferment. Scholars of history, anthropology, literature, and art history reveal new facets of the colonial experience by emphasizing the wide range of indigenous individuals who used knowledge to subvert, undermine, critique, and sometimes enhance colonial power.

This volume explores alternative cultural encounters with and around information technologies, encounters that counter dominant, Western-oriented notions of media consumption. The contributors include media practices as forms of cultural resistance and subversion, 'DIY cultures', and other non-mainstream models of technology production and consumption. The contributors - leading thinkers in science and technology studies, anthropology, and software design - pay special attention to the specific inflections that different cultures and communities give to the value of knowledge.

Compreender a atual política pública de saúde indígena à luz de seus antecedentes: com este objetivo, pesquisadores de diferentes especialidades e regiões do país se reuniram para produzir esta coletânea, que busca aumentar a visibilidade das vozes indígenas no cenário sociopolítico brasileiro. Os capítulos oferecem um panorama bastante consistente sobre o campo da saúde indígena no Brasil. O livro analisa o contexto político e institucional que originou o SUS e, particularmente, o Subsistema de Saúde Indígena. Assinala as diferenças e as dificuldades, mas também aponta caminhos de articulação possíveis entre o sistema médico oficial e o sistema indígena. Mais: corrobora a importância do diálogo para estabelecer interações criativas e, sobretudo, “contribuir com a provisão de uma atenção sanitária culturalmente sensível".

La notion d'« espace » est un concept clé de la disciple archéologique. Les vestiges mobiliers ou immobiliers trouvés en fouille sont les reflets matériels des aspects politiques, sociaux, économiques et culturels des populations étudiées. De fait, l'espace archéologique est socialement construit. L'agencement des vestiges dans l'espace témoigne de l'organisation des lieux du quotidien, ce qui permet d'accéder à des ensembles revêtant une grande signification sociale, culturelle ou symbolique. Conceptualisée selon plusieurs échelles, notamment géographiques et chronologiques, la notion d'espac
